We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Lockheed
Martin Corporation as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Corporations management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial
statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Lockheed Martin Corporation at December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Lockheed
Martin Corporations internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and
our report dated February 23, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
